Washington Redskins are:

Sinestro (w/ The White Lantern Ring), Aayla Secura, She-Ra w/ Swiftwind, Skywarp, Kup, Yaddle (w/ Dwarf Ring #7), Even Piel, Dobby, Bat-Mite (w/ Dwarf Ring #6), Theoden King, Krillin (w/ Dwarf Ring #5), Teddy Roosevelt (in a Hammer Bros.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam and Lady Jessica stand in relative safety from atop a rocky clifftop over looking the battle. They mutter quietly to each other about plans as they look at the carnage below that has already taken place. Down below, their ten sandworms have been wreaking havoc upon the Redskins. Five were being ridden by Fedaykins #1-5 and have since fallen in battle. Aayla and Even Piel were able to take out one. The Silverhawks put in work to take out two with the help of She-Ra upon Swiftwind and Sinestro used his white lantern powers to control one of the sandworms into killing the other. Taking out as many sandworms as possible was a key strategy for the Redskins and they are thankful that their casualties, while significant, were not as great as they had feared. 


Still, five sandworms remain. Sheanna Brugh is trying her hardest to help guide and control the these but it is proving difficult even given her unique and gifted powers. While this chaos is going on, one character who enjoys chaos is gathering up all the rings he can. Shadow is rolling in circles and has managed to take out Bat-Mite and Yaddle and is chasing Krilin to complete his dwarf ring collection. Teddy Roosevelt is throwing hammers while Thundarr and his crew try to catch the speedy hedgehog. 


Dobby cowers in fear at the feet of Walter Day who stands in the center of the field of battle in his patented referee uniform quietly enjoying a bowl of soup. The duo has gone largely unnoticed by either team. 


All ground battles continue with some difficulty as many are being tripped up by the five blind moles that are scurrying underground causing our warriors to stumble and fall. Thrilling battles are taking place as Aragorn and Theoden King clash swords but are hesitant as neither wants to kill a friend. Sub Zero manages to freeze She Ra as she rides in the sky on her horse. She falls and shatters into a million pieces on the hard scorched soil. (hasta la vista, baby) Darth Plaguis and Keiran Atreides put in work taking out the GI Joe crew and go to work on the Eternian Soldiers. Atreides, seeing the back of the Crown Prince Corrino to him, uses this opportunity to attack and kill the young noble which gives the Goobers the window to finally finish off Plaguis. 


Teddy has managed to summon Swiftwind and mounts the steed. With his newly acquired gift of flight, he rides up the rocky outcropping to where the leaders of the Goobers stand. Jessica senses the attack and pretends to tie her shoe when Teddy emerges throwing a hammer to the skull of the Emperor. Jessica manages to get her crysknife into Swiftwind as it flies by and Teddy falls from his horse. The two wrestle briefly until Teddy hurls them both off the side of the cliff to their death. 


Skywarp and Kup take significant damage defeating Red Hulk and decide to charge at the two of the remaining Sandworms in sacrifice. Skywarp manages to jump into the gaping maw of one and explode, killing them both but before Kup can finish his off, Black knight uses his ebony blade to slice the legs off the autobot. Black Knight stands over him to finish the job and as he puts the blade to Kup’s neck, Kup manages uses his last bit of fuel to crush the marvel superhero into goo. Kup lets out his last breath of exhaust as the sand drinks up his oil. 


Now in the final minutes, Sinestro has taken out two more sandworms and now Sheanna can willfully control the last one without distraction. Sinestro opts to focus his efforts on regrouping with the remaining Redskins to try for a final attack. 


Theoden King, who finally decided to finish off his Dunedain Ranger buddy, has just finished stabbing the last Bader Mole. They were a little tricky but easy to see. Looking around to see who’s left he sees that only Himself, Keiran Atredies, Aayla Secura, Thundarr, Quicksilver and The Copper kid are all that is left to fall back with Sinestro.


They make a final charge at the Goobers. Who have Luke, R2D2, Hyperion and Alan Scott (as well as the Sandworm causing all the ruckus. Aayla clashes sabers with Luke and loses. Quicksilver is quickly dodging punches from Hyperion while the Copper Kid manages to use his technical skills to reprogram R2D2 into a bomb and programs him to return to luke. It’s his last act alive as Alan Scott busts his head open. Sinestro Returns the favor on Scott. Luke senses the disturbance in R2 and force pushes him out of the way. As R2 explodes, shrapnel takes out Theoden and causes the Hyperon and Quicksliver battle to briefly stop. Thundarr charges at Hyperon with his magical sword but instead gets a death blow to the head. Quicksliver and Atredies try to combine forces but are not able to get past Luke. Sinestro and Luke stare each other down. Sinestro tries to control the mind of the Jedi Master but the force is too strong. 


The screams of Dobby as the last sandworm devours him and Day flow unobstructed across the desert floor. In a split second of distraction, Sinestro looks back as his last teammates are being swallowed and feels the green lightsaber blade run through his torso.
